Hi this is day seven of the Induction Diet Started at 239 Today I am 227 is that good? thats very fast I 'm Diabetic and my sugar stayed down. I eat eggs and bacon in morning, a couple peices of cheese and a peice of chicken at noon
and for dinner half cup of green beans and itialian sausage. Have been able to stop that one coffe in the morning .But I'm working on it.got rid of the diet squirt to that hurt. My question is will the diabetic medicine interfere with the
diet . I guess I answered my own question since from 4-25-2008 till today I lost 11 pounds. Is that to fast or normal ? Also got everything checked by my doctor. He was very happy to see that my sugar had gone down.

If you are not eating 3 cups of veggies (2 cups salad veggies and a cup of regular or 3 cups of salad veggie) then you are not doing it right. I HAVE to eat more than a cup of veggies a day. Do you have the book?

Dr ATKINS New Diet Revolution 2000 ed. i believe. Either way the guidlines and such are in the book and also on the site here. during 14 induction you should lose roughly 5-10% of the total your wanting to lose. KEEP in mind though most of the first 2 weeks is water from retaining.

I was trying to get in ketosisand thought that it would help to limit the carbs till I got there.I'm in ketosis and will add the veggies and salad. Thanks!

The only problem with the latest edition is that it was made AFTER Dr. Atkins died. Which means the company has added or deleted things to make it more lucrative to themselves. The 2000 edition is the last one I beliebve that was published by him. Most everyone on the board refers to the last one he published as our WOE bible. Make sure you follow the Induction rules. You will get much much better results and if you eat and drink the way he outlined in his book you will be healthier and feel better for it.

'Atkins for Life' is a bit superficial I think as it skimps over many things and does promote the Atkins company products rather too much.

We go by Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution 2002 edition (DANDR) here which was the last one published in Dr Atkins lifetime.
